Life at Tesla

“My experiences as a Tesla intern are some that I will take with me for the rest of my career. I had the opportunity to tackle problems that were challenging, unique, and relevant—and within several weeks, I was trained to weigh in on decisions that would affect an entire production line.”– Michaela

“Just the feeling of knowing that I helped to build a car that critics said couldn't and wouldn't exist, is a feeling that I wouldn't trade for anything.”– Andrew
